Chapter 869: Worthy

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yao Ming and Li Liang held a news briefing in the reception hall of the Grand Hyatt Hotel to introduce Li Liang's joining the Chinese national team to major media.
This is the biggest piece of news in Chinese sports before the Olympics.
Although basketball is only a project and certainly won no medals, as a collective project with great influence, it has always received a high degree of attention.
The so-called "three big balls" in China have always received high expectations.
It is a pity that in the past two years, except for the women's volleyball team, the other three are worse.
This year's men's basketball competition for the Olympic Games, the shortlist is all young people, the official claim to "exercise young people".
To be honest, this argument has always been self-deception.
The Olympic Games is held every four years. The most important basketball games are used to train young people. Why did you go?
This is equivalent to taking the college entrance examination, saying that it is to exercise yourself for the next college entrance examination.
Why can't you take the exam this time?
It can be said that the problem of the lack of connection between Chinese collective projects is quite serious.
The elites cultivated by the old nationwide system gradually faded, but the young people trained by the new market-based system could not take over the banner.
Teams like Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi are top players trained by the old system, and the final glory bloomed in the 2008 Olympics.
After this group of people retired, Chinese basketball entered a "dilemma with Chinese characteristics".
Because China is a latecomer country in modern civilization, from a backward agricultural country to a modern country, it can be said that from top to bottom, all aspects of learning from Europe and the United States are advanced, while crossing the river by touching the stones, and the sports industry is no exception.
Not to mention football, it's troublesome.
Basketball once dominated Asia, relying on the nationwide system.
Many people feel that the nationwide system is backward. In fact, the nationwide system also learns advanced foreign systems, that is, Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.
In the basketball world, Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union represent world-class standards, but they defeated the United States in the Olympics.
The reason why the nationwide system needs to change is not because of backwardness, but because the entire social environment and system have changed, the underlying foundation has changed, and superstructures such as sports culture must of course also change.
The aspirations of the Chinese are always ambitious. As a big country, it is best to learn from us.
So football learns Western Europe and basketball naturally targets the United States, the world's No. 1 basketball powerhouse.
However, China's economic foundation, campus sports culture, and various supporting systems cannot be learned by China.
So in the end it made the four different Chinese characteristics.
On the one hand, the nationwide system, the influence of the local sports bureaus are still there, and each region is independent. The youth training system is still an important blood supply mechanism, which is very similar to European clubs.
On the one hand, imitating the American business league has become the most important base for talent training and training, and imitates the United States in all aspects of tactics, competition system, and business model.
As a result, the youth training has been affected by the social environment, and it is no longer possible to select the most elite by screening in layers as in the past.
Why was the Bayi team so powerful, because the troops from all over the country screened up layer by layer to gather the most elite players together, could it not be strong?
China is so big, there are more than one billion people who are open to picking talents, but can't pick geniuses suitable for playing?
The problem is that under the market system, instead of being open to choice, the foundation of youth training is affected.
China's commercial leagues feel a bit stubborn, like the NBA, getting all-stars, playing in the playoffs, and the so-called "draft."
China simply does not have a deep campus basketball culture and foundation.
Basically it is a copycat version of the NBA, but the viewing and competition are greatly reduced.
For the record, the team is based on foreign aid and regards local players as engineers.
For this reason, the Basketball Association has also formulated various rules restricting the playing time of foreign aid, and also distinguishes between "European and American foreign aid" and "Asian foreign aid".
In order to force each team to train local players, it was launched in a certain season. The playoff teams can select two players from the teams that have not entered the playoffs (mainly national team members). Violent market rules, strange and wild regulations.
Another example is that because a certain short period of time the national team is not good at breaking the press, and it is often disgraced by the opponent's pressing defense. Therefore, in a certain season, the team is required to use full-time pressing in at least one section of a game. Tactics.
This is not against the market rules anymore, it is against the laws of basketball development.
This kind of commercial league, half business is not business, often rely on the boss's basketball interest and fans' basketball enthusiasm to support, it is not a big climate.
In terms of technology and tactics, it lags behind the world's advanced trends. It is rare to see any development and innovation in technology and tactics, staying in the personal ability development of foreign aid and the struggle for will quality.
To solve these problems, to be honest, without years of development, it is unlikely to be effective.
This is not a two-person problem, nor a player's problem. This is a "potential" problem.
If you are right, everything will be fine. If you are not, you will be helpless.
If you want to rely on one person to change this situation, or eliminate the influence of the situation, unless this person opens up.
Yao Ming can only count as half-open, leading Chinese basketball to the glory of the first decade of the 21st century.
Now, the people who are really hanging out are here.
...
In the conference hall of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, it has long been packed with reporters from all walks of life.
The table was full of various microphones, and the camera under the stage was already in place.
For such a situation, Li Liang has long been accustomed to, after all, he has seen greater in the United States.
Remember a few days ago, after this year's finals, Li Liang was interviewed after the fourth game.
After all, he has truly completed four consecutive personal championships (Cole's thighs are not counted), making these four years a complete Bruce Lee era.
Following Yao Ming taking a seat on the interview seat, Li Liang took a sip of saliva, and the following had already snapped.
Li Liang took the microphone and directly said to the audience: "You can ask any questions. I will try my best to answer them. Of course, I hope that your questions can be more professional. Don't ask fake questions. Let me follow them. Empty words, you can ask a specific point, and I will also answer a specific point."
Western reporter Li Liang has seen much more. Generally speaking, although American reporters have bad breath and often make things difficult for others, the level is indeed very high.
You don't ask anything, "Are you winning by strength? How is the weather today? Have you just tried your best?" This kind of brainless and boring question.
Li Liang is also very afraid to answer such questions, so his opening remarks are straightforward, to remind reporters who are used to long talk.
"Mr. Gan, do you have any psychological goals for returning to China to represent the Chinese team in the Olympic Games."
The first reporter's question is more professional, and the question asked is something everyone wants to know.
Because Li Liang always likes to stand up, everyone wants to hear what promise he will make in the national team this time.
"If you have a goal, you must first go further than the Beijing Olympics. UU reading www.uukanshu.com strives to break through the top eight Asian ceilings. If you can get a medal, you will definitely fight for the medal. There is a more important goal. I hope to give Chinese basketball sets some good standards and brings some good habits."
Li Liang's remarks are a bit big, it is his style, but when he said it out of his mouth, everyone felt no problem.
The second reporter asked, "What do you think will be the challenge for you to participate in the Olympics? Compared with playing in the NBA."
This issue is quite satisfactory.
"FIBA rules and NBA rules are still very different, and I need to adapt. Some players in the NBA arrive at the FIBA, and they do have symptoms of dissatisfaction. It’s not that playing well in the NBA will be invincible in the Olympics. Of course, I I personally think that with my playing style, the problem will not be too big. Maybe FIBA's three-point line needs to be adjusted in the future."
Unlike Yao Ming’s Yao’s humor, Li Liang’s answer has always been Gan’s arrogance, but he deserves it.
After answering this question, Li Liang reminded, "Don’t ask these questions that give me the opportunity to brag, ask details, details, you need to improve your knowledge level, you know?"
